Ferrari's F2012 Formula One race car has a 2.4-liter V-8 engine making it go, but making it stop are four Brembo carbon composite brakes. Brembo gives us a peek at them in this video find.The video lasts just under two minutes but gives an interesting look at the individual parts of the braking system. There are plenty of big numbers, too: each brake assembly has six-piston calipers, a carbon brake disc that can needs to withstand temperatures of roughly 2200 degrees Fahrenheit, and brake fluid that boils at 635 degrees. The rear calipers are mounted towards the ground for better weight distribution, while the brake pedal is designed to take advantage of deceleration forces to increase the amount of pedal pressure.The Brembos are serious pieces of kit, and so is the Ferrari F2012 racecar that uses them. Check out both the car and the brakes in the video below and let us know what you think.Source: Brembo

Ummm, in case your mind somehow turns everything you read int the exact opposite then you'd know that the US Gov is going to lose about 18 Billion dollars due to the fact that GM and Chrysler stock have fallen in value. On top of that, GM still owes 6 billion in loans from the US and Canadian governments.

Ummm...in case you haven't been following the news, the government is making a profit of its investment in GM and Chrysler. That means GM and Chrysler are paying their loans. As in IN FULL. If you want to claim ignorant "Governmental" reasons for not liking GM that's fine. I'll stick with facts.

I'm not a Brembo user, but I like the fact they come standard on all four wheels on the Camaro 2SS. Ford lets you buy front only for $1700 on the Mustang. Guess Ford feels they're not important for the car.
